I can't help but wonder how this would have played out in the US?

That's actually pretty funny. Glad nobody got hurt in the end though.

Decent chance in 'Murica, the land of insane gun nut fetishist Republicans, someone would have gotten shot. By the popo, who all they know how to do is is escalate rather than assess and de-escalate.

Just thought the whole thing was seriously bizarre. Don't understand who would see that classroom and have a first reaction of "there's been a massacre". OK we're talking the mean streets of Lincolnshire...

The most murderous place in England and Wales may surprise you

Didn't mean to start a gun debate, just couldn't think of any other comment to add. Spent way too long trying to think of a flippant comment (involving some sort of pun on yoga), but couldn't come up with anything.
